Italian Regia Aeronautica had the SM82 Marsupiale from 1938, a transport so good that remained in service long after the war. But, if I’m not mistaken, Luftwaffe was the only air force with an appreciable number of cargo planes operational at the beginning of WWII.
RAF Transport Command was established on 25th March 1943. So, it’s true that there are allied transport types other than the C47/Dakota/Li2, but not many really significant ones. I would be glad to have the Bristol Albermarle and the Vikers Valentia, but I can live without. A simplified B24, minus Norden and turrets, in theory could be converted into a C87 Liberator Express… That would be a great transport plane!
